Purpose: Porphyromonas gingivalis(P. gingivalis) heat shock protein (HSP)60 may play a role in the immunopathogenesis of periodontitis as well as atherosclerosis by modulating autoimmune reaction due to its high level of sequence homology between bacteria and human counterpart. The purpose of this study was to identify immunodomiant epitope of P. gingivalis HSP60 that is reactive exclusively to the homologous bacteria without reacting with human HSP. Materials and methods: The present study was performed to identify the peptide specifically recognized by anti-P. gingivalis HSP60 monoclonal antibodies mono-reactive to P. gingivalis HSP60. Results: Four different hybridomas were cloned producing monoclonal IgG antibodies exclusively to P. gingivalis HSP60. Thirty seven synthetic peptides (20-mer with 5-amino acid overlapping) were synthesized. All of these peptide were subject to SDS-PAGE for immunblot analysis. One peptide (TVPGGGTTYIRAIAALEGLK) and the other peptide (TLVVNRLRGSLKICAVKAPG) were recognized by all and one of the four monoclonal antibodies, respectively, that reacted solely with P. gingivalis HSP60. Immunohistochemistry to identify the localization of the HSP60 in the diseased gingival tissues revealed that all of the four monoclonal antibodies were highly reacted with the diseased gingival tissue than normal gingival tissue. Conclusion: The P. gingivalis HSP60 peptides (TVPGGGTTYIRAIAALEGLK and TLVVNRLRGSLKICAVKAPG, respectively) are positively involved in the immunopathologic process of periodontal disease. The peptide may potentially be developed as vaccine candidates. Further investigations are under way to identify more clones producing monoclonal antibodies reactive to P. gingivalis HSP and to other periodontopathogenic bacteria as well, while maintaining specificities to human counterpart.

Due to considerably high degree of sequence homology between bacterial and human heat shock proteins(hsp), it has been widely thought that this protein might be involved in autoimmune disease mechanisms in humans. To elucidate how stress proteins contribute in the immunopathogenesis of periodontitis, the present study was performed to evaluate the T cell immune responses specific to Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) heat shock protein (hsp)60 and T-cell epitope specificities for P. gingivalis hsp60 in periodontitis. Anti-P. gingivalis IgG antibody titers were elevated in all patients. We could establish P. gingivalis hsp-specific T cell ines from the peripheral blood of peridontitis, a mixture of $CD4^+$ and $CD8^+$ cells. Of 108 overlapping synthetic peptides spanning whole P. gingivalis hsp60 moleculc, ten peptides with cpitopes specifities for T-cell were showed. Interestingly, ten epitopes were also identified as T-cell epitopes in the present study as well as B-cell epitopes in peridontitis. Therefore, all the ten representative epitopes were designated as common T-and B-cell epitopes for peridontitis. It is critical in developing a peptide vaccine strategy for potential prevention of periodontitis. It was concluded that P. gingivalis hsp60 might be involved in the immunoregulatory process of periodontitis with heat shock protein specificities.

폭약 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT)스트레스 조건하에서 토양세균 Pseudomonas sp. HK-6의 세포반응에 대하여 조사하였다. 다양한 농도의 TNT에 노출됨으로서 약 70-kDa DnaK와 60-kDa GroEL의 스트레스 충격단백질 (stress shock proteins, SSPs)이 단떠질이 유도되었다. 이들 SSPs의 존재는 SDS-PAGE과 anti-DnaK와 anti-GroEL monoclonal antibodies를 이용한 Western bolt을 통하여 확인되었다. SSPs은 0.5 mM TNT로 6-12 시간 처리된 세포에서 나타났으며, TNT에 노출 후8시간대 에서 최대의 단백질 유도가 관찰되었다. $30^{\circ}C$에서 $42^{\circ}C$로 열변환충격을 주었을 때의 SSPs는 TNT노출에서와 유사한 유도양상을 보여주었다. TNT에 노출된 Pseudomonas sp. HK-6세포에서 유도된 SSPs의 존재는 배양된 세포의 수용성 단백질 분획에 대하여 2-D PAGE를 통하여 확인되었다. Coomassie brilliant blue R25O로 염색된 젤로부터 pH 3-10 범위에서 약 450 개의 spots이 탐침되었으며, 이들 가운데 12 개의 spots이 TNT 스트레스에 대하여 현저하게 유도되었다. Gel상에서 가장 짙게 나타난 대표적 인 spot에 대한 N-말단 아미노산 서열을 분석한 결과, $^1XXAKDVKFGDSARKKML^17$로서, Pseudomonas putida의 GroEL의 N-말단 아미노산 염기서열인 $^1XXAKDVKFGDSARKKML^17$과 동일한 것으로 분석되었다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of drug induced anaphylactis and anaphylactic shock in patients who were admitted to the emergency department Methods: We retrospectively collected the data on patients with drug induced anaphylaxis and who were admitted to the emergency department from January 2001 to June 2009. The study group was divided into the non-shock and shock groups according to whether the systolic blood pressure more than 90mmHg. The initial demographic data, the causes of drug-induced anaphylaxis, the clinical manifestations, the treatment and the prognosis were reviewed for 72 patients. Results: The mean age of the study subjects was $47.9P{\pm}14.2$ years old and there were 40 male patients and 32 female patients. There were 26 patients in the non-shock group and 46 in the shock group. The mean age was older in the shock group than in the non-shock group ($51.5{\pm}15.1$ vs $42.5{\pm}10.6$, p-0.002). A history of drug allergy was more common in the shock group, but no difference was found for the comorbid chronic diseases between the two groups. Radio-contrast media was the most common cause, followed non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs and antibiotics, but there is no difference in the causes between the two groups. The symptoms of cyanosis, syncope, sweating and dizziness were more frequently manifested in the shock group. The administration of intravenous fluid and injection of subcutaneous epinephrine at the emergency department were more frequent in the shock group than in the non-shock group. Conclusion: For the patients who were admitted to the emergency department with drug induced anaphylaxis, the mean age was older and the symptoms of cyanosis, syncope, sweating, dizziness were more frequent in the anaphylactic shock patients than in the non-shock group. More treatments were given at the emergency department to the anaphylactic shock patients.

There are various large shocks in optical disc drive system like human touch and speak sound. In this paper, a nonlinear controller and a detection method are proposed. First, a relay nonlinear controller with dead zone is introduced. The structure of this nonlinear controller is simple and has a small amount of calculation. However, this controller has chattering problem when it is working. We suggest a disturbance detection algorithm using Kalman filter in this paper and it shows effective reduction of chattering. The proposed nonlinear controller using this detection algorithm had good performance for the shock.

The present study has been performed to evaluate Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.gingivalis) heat shock protein(HSP)60 as a candidate vaccine to inhibit multiple bacteria-induced alveolar bone loss. Rats were immunized with P.gingivalis HSP60 and experimental alveolar bone loss was induced by infection with multiple periodonto -pathogenic bacteria. Post-immune rat anti-P.gingivalis HSP IgG levels were significantly elevated and have demonstrated highly significant inverse relationship with the amount of alveolar bone loss induced by multiple bacteria. Results from PCR detection of subgingival bacterial plaque indicated that the vaccine successfully eradicated the multiple pathogenic species. We concluded that P.gingivalis HSP60 could potentially be developed as a vaccine to inhibit periodontal disease induced by multiple pathogenic bacteria.

To screen molecular chaperones similar to small heat shock proteins (sHsps), but without ${\alpha}$-crystalline domain, heat-stable proteins from Schizosaccharomyces pombe were analyzed by 2-dimensional electrophoresis and matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Sixteen proteins were identified, and four recombinant proteins, including cofilin, NTF2, pyridoxin biosynthesis protein (Snz1) and Wos2 that has an ${\alpha}$-crystalline domain, were purified. Among these proteins, only Snz1 showed the anti-aggregation activity against thermal denaturation of citrate synthase. However, pre-heating of NTF2 and Wos2 at $70^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, efficiently prevented thermal aggregation of citrate synthase. These results indicate that Snz1 and NTF2 possess molecular chaperone activity similar to sHsps, even though there is no ${\alpha}$-crystalline domain in their sequences.

The effects of Semen Ziziphi Spinosae extract were tested for the anti-stress action. 100g of crude drug of Semen Ziziphi Spinosae was extracted with pure water and the total extractive was evaporated under reduced pressure to give 10.7g. ICR male mice($20{\pm}2g$) were fed orally with the dose of 100mg/kg/day for five days. Foot shock was given to make experimental environment of physiological stress. Foot shock mice were placed individually in the foot shock compartments and sociopsychological mice were placed nonfoot shock compartment-the side of foot shock compartments. Mice were exposed to sociopsychological stress by restraining and seeing foot shock stressed mice for one hour for five days. Semen Ziziphi Spinosae extract administered group showed a significant decrease of serum corticosterone secretion compared with control group. Noradrenaline secretions in the dorsal cortex of brain were increased but not significant. Lipid peroxidation of the liver of mice were tested by measuring malondialdehyde, and Semen Ziziphi Spinosae extract had tendency of decreasing lipid peroxidation but not significant. But Semen Ziziphi Spinosae extract administration had the effect of decreasing serum level of aspartate aminotransferase and malondialdehyde. These results suggest that Semen Ziziphi Spinosae extract can effectively rid the sociopsychological stress and stress concerned diseases.

Bacterial heat shock protein has been one of the components that are responsible to induce autoimmune disease mechanisms in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis due to high level of homology in sequence with human counterpart. This mechanism may explain how bacterial infectious disease, such as periodontal disease, might contribute to the acceleration of the disease process of atherosclerosis. Porphyromonas gingivalis which is a major periodontal pathogenic bacterial species, has been implicated as one of the pathogenic bacteria playing the role in this context. The present study has been performed to evaluate the anti-atherosclerotic effect of adoptive transfer of Porphyromonas gingivalis heat shock protein epitope-specific T cell lines into severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice. Peptide no. 15 with amino acid sequence VKEVASKTND-specific T cell line was selected for the transfer. When experimental atherosclerosis was induced in SCID mice adoptively transferred either by the T cell lines (experimental group) or by non-specific mouse T cells (control group), there was no significant difference in the severity and extent of the atherosclerosis induced by hypercholesterol diet.
